past regression
past pretention
the better of the other's aims
suffering to end the strife
never meant to beg or borrow
never meant to take away
higher of hopes of higher things
vision of the underling
still waiting for tomorrow
bring the cleansing, in release
to contemplate the empty space
bring the nova, bring release
this is when you'll know it's over
one desire
one regret
one eternal complication
waiting for another season
and watching sins that pile higher
bring the cleansing, bring release
sweeping blind hypocrisy
bring the martyrs, bring the nation
to heap them on the fire
bring the cleansing, in release
to contemplate the empty space
bring the nova, bring release
this is when you'll know it's over
awaiting the awakening
wide awake but sleeping
delaying the inevitable
still asleep and dreaming
bring the cleansing, in release
to contemplate the empty space
bring the nova, bring release
this is when you'll know it's over
life remains, and peace rescends
leave me where your light descends
life remains, and peace rescends
leave me where your sorrow ends
and we're still at sea, and drifting...
